The most awaited Chandrayaan 2 landing on Moon’s lunar surface might not have happened as expected as there were updates till the last few seconds and when it was time to hear about safe landing, ISRO lost communication with the lander.
Scientists are suspecting the crash landing as the lander module appears to have crashed. PM Modi urged scientists not to lose hope and he said ‘I’ll be proud of you either way’ to Dr K Sivan.
And while addressing the crowd, Modi said that has been accomplished so far is not a small feat and it is an incredible serve to scientists and to the world. Our mission will go on whether we get a good news or bad.
The descent of Vikram Lander was as per plan and went normal upto 2.1km from the lunar surface and the communication link of Lander with ground station was lost then. ISRO Chariman conveyed the same and said they are currently analysing the data.
The deviation we saw on the graph during the last few seconds was unexpected and it appeared to have gained speed as it lost altitude.
